A 17-year-old Burpengary boy has been charged with murder after the fatal stabbing of a man on Brisbane's northside.
It is alleged the boy was running along Newmarket Road near the crime scene when he was intercepted two hours before the discovery of the 43-year-old man's body.
Officers allege he was concealing a knife close to 45 centimetres long in a sheath, which they described as "almost a small machete".
Police allege that while he was being questioned, a 17-year-old girl made herself known to police.
It is alleged she assaulted a male police officer on the scene.
She has been charged with one count of assaulting police.
Both teenagers have been denied police bail and will face the Brisbane Children's Court at a later date.
The body of the man was found by a member of the public around 2am near Wilston train station.
Police are urging any witnesses or people with dashcam footage from the area between 11pm on Saturday and 2am on Sunday to come forward.
Police believe the man owned a unit less than a kilometre from where he was allegedly stabbed.
On Monday morning, police were still at the scene, with SES volunteers searching the ground for evidence.
'It's pretty shocking'
Cody Horrigan lives near where the man's body was discovered and said she woke this morning to find police gathered outside her home.
"I got up and I could see policemen and some professionals that looked like detectives, so I thought something must've happened last night," she said.
"I didn't want to go out and disturb them because I could see there was a blue tarp around near the tree of my driveway.
"It's pretty shocking because I only just moved in two months ago."
